    Colorado is nice. I may move there some day, if things work out.

    GEORGE, I hate to disagree with you, but 70 degrees is not Christmas weather. Christmas is supposed to be white. That means a four-letter word--SNOW!!

    My husband is always complaining because no matter where we go, I have to find a Wal*Mart. He's convinced that my goal in life is to visit every Wal*Mart in existence. Not a bad goal, actually, but I don't know that I'd go all over the country JUST to go to Wal*Mart. But since I'm already there, wherever it is, might as well check it out.

    GEORGE, are you going to manage this new one?

    Boo hoo, we don't have any Sonic Drive-In's here in Chicago and have to go down to Springfield or St. Louis to get to one. I had never experienced Sonic till 2 years ago when we drove to Gulf Shores, Alabama for vacation and my husband introduced me to Chili Cheese Tots - num!! (husband is from Texas so he grew up on Sonic).

    Now we plan all of our road trips to Texas and Gulf Shores around all the Sonics (Microsoft Streets & Trips program can show you all the Sonics in the whole country!).

    Oh, and their Toasters!! :)

    This is

    Actually,

    As a native Texan, and wife of an OU grad, I have determined that Sonic is really an Oklahoma thing. Texans have Dairy Queen aka DQ, and home of soft serve ice cream.

    LB - no Sonics in Ohio? You guys are really deprived.

    But We Do Got This>----->>L O LHow to be an Ohioan:
    >
    >After several years of living in Ohio, I know
    >how to be an Ohioan. While I was learning, I
    >have noted some guidelines which would be
    >helpful to newcomers. So here are some
    >suggestions and hints to assist them.
    >
    >1. Know the state casserole. The State casserole consists of canned green
    >beans, Campbell's
    >cream of mushroom soup and dried onions.
    >You can safely take this casserole to any
    >social event and know that you will be accepted.
    >In fact, Neil Armstrong almost took this
    >casserole to the moon in case he encountered
    >alien life there. NASA nixed the plan out of
    >concern that the casserole would overburden
    >the Apollo rocket at lift-off.
    >
    >2. Get used to food festivals. The Ohio
    >General Assembly, in an effort to grow bigger offensive linemen, passed
    >legislation years
    >ago requiring every incorporated community
    >to have at least one festival per year dedicated
    >to a high-fat food. Thus, Sugarcreek honors
    >Swiss cheese, Troys delights in
    >Strawberries, Bucyrus has a bratwurst
    >celebration and Gahanna, seeking
    >an edge over other towns, has recently
    >introduced the Triglyceride and
    >Low-density Lipoprotein Festival. It is your
    >duty as an Ohioan to attend these festivals
    >and at least buy an elephant ear.
    >
    >3. Know the geography....Of Florida, I mean.
    >I've run into Ohioans who couldn't tell you
    >where Toledo is located but they know the exact distance from Fort Myers to
    >Bonita Springs.
    >That's because all Ohioans go to Florida in
    >the winter. Or plan to when they retire. Or are
    >related to retired Ohioans who have a place in Sarasota. We consider
    >Florida
    >to be the Lower
    >Peninsula of Ohio.
    >
    >4. If you can't afford to spend the winter in
    >Florida, use the state excuse, which is that you
    >stay here because you like the change of
    >seasons. You'll be lying, but that's OK.
    >We've all done it.
    >
    >5. Speaking of Ohio weather, wear layers or
    >die. The thing to remember about Ohio
    >seasons is that they can occur at anytime.
    >We have spring-like days in January and
    >wintry weekends in October. April is capable
    >of providing a sampling of all four seasons
    >in a single 24-hour period. For these reasons,
    >Ohio is the Layering Capital of the World. Even layering, however, can pose
    >danger...Golfers
    >have been known to dress for hypothermia
    >and end up dead of heat stroke because they
    >couldn't strip off their layers of plaid fast
    >enough on a changeable spring morning.
    >
    >6. Don't take Ohio place names literally.
    >- Upper Sandusky is below regular Sandusky.
    >- Circleville is square.
    >- East Liverpool has no counterpart to the west.
    >- Also, if a town has the same name as a foreign capital... Lima or Berlin
    >or Louisville, for example......you must not
    >pronounce it that way lest you come under
    >suspicion as a spy. Hence, it's not LEE-ma
    >as in Peru, but LYE-ma as in bean, and it's
    >BER-lin, not Ber-LIN, like in Germany.
    >Louisville in Ohio is pronounced Looisville,
    >not Looeyville as in Kentucky.
    >
    >7. Become mulch literate. Ohioans love mulch
    >and appreciate its subtle differences. Learn the difference between
    >hardwood,
    >cypress and
    >pine bark at a minimum. Researchers think the
    >state affinity with mulch derives from
    >its relatively flat terrain. People have a
    >subconscious need for topography, and when
    >it can't be supplied naturally, they are more
    >likely to make little mulch hillocks in their front
    >yards.
    >
    >8. In order to talk sports with obsessive fans
    >in Ohio, you have to be knowledgeable on
    >three levels -- professional, college and high
    >school. The truly expert Ohio sports fan
    >knows not only the name of the hotshot
    >quarterback at Abercrombie Fitch High School,
    >but also what college he's interested in, how
    >much he bench-presses, who he took to the
    >prom and what he got on his biology quiz last
    >week.
    >
    >9. Remember that Ohioans are never the
    >first to embrace trends. When we do
    >embrace them, we do so with a Midwestern pragmatism. For example, if you
    >see
    >an
    >Ohioan with a nose ring, there's a good chance
    >he's had it undercoated to guard against rust.
    >
    >10. The best way to sell something in Ohio is to
    >attach the term "Amish" to it. The product
    >need not be genuinely Amish. This would
    >explain the existence of Amish moo shu pork.
